Merely days after we caught wind of Apple’s rumored discussions with Vodafone, three other European carriers became the ones to reportedly agree to Apple’s terms. According to FinancialTimes, “Apple has succeeded in committing European mobile phone operators that want exclusively to sell its new iPhone to share parts of their revenues with the technology group.” The contract, which was signed by T-Mobile Germany, Orange, and O2, “requires that the operators hand over to Apple ten-percent of the revenues made from calls and data transfers by customers over iPhones” — the same chunk required of those wanting to slap that Made for iPod logo on their accessories. Unfortunately, there’s no word just yet on pricing, a launch timeframe, or any other lingering deals with overseas carriers, but we could very well hear more from all sides during IFA.
